2 Samuel 12:8
Douay-Rheims
And gave thee thy master’s house and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and Juda: and if these things be little, I shall add far greater things unto thee.
George Leo Haydock
Wives. We know of none that David married. But, as king, he enjoyed alone that privilege. (Grotius) (Chap. iii. 7., and xvi. 21.) — Unto thee. Hebrew, “I would have given thee such and such.” (Calmet) — Septuagint, “I will moreover give thee like unto these;” a continuation of prosperity. (Haydock) — This singular love, which God was still disposed to manifest unto David, touched his heart with peculiar force. (Salien)
